contrib/emacs/vc-git.el: support vc-version-other-window

Currently, the vc-git-checkout function uses `git checkout' to fetch a
file from the git repository to the working copy.  However, it is
completely ignoring the input argument that specifies the destination
file.  `git-checkout' does not support specifying this, so we have to
use `git-cat-file', capture the output in a buffer and then save it.
